Report on the survey of youth information professionals for the project MedYIa
In 2020, the MedYIa - Youth Information vs Disinformation: Media under the Microscope! (financed by Erasmus+) project partners met to develop a strategy to enhance the Media and Information Literacy skills and resources of those working in the youth sector (youth information workers, educators, and youth workers).
The first step was to ask youth (information) workers about their expectations in this highly topical field. To do this, the partners prepared an online survey, which was shared in the spring of 2021, the pandemic preventing physical meetings.
This online survey became the basis for the MedYIa partners’ work, enabling them to create tailor-made, face-to-face training closely aligned to the needs of youth workers. The survey was shared widely in the three languages of the project consortium (French, German and English).
The final report will provide recommendations to policymakers, institutional bodies and youth work and youth information professionals.
